“Our drivers did really well in the national categories last year, but replicating that sort of success at Bathurst would be special,” he said.

“I’m really happy with our driver combination. Richard is a raw talent and is fast in everything he drives, while Danny is one of the best Am drivers going around – he’s just as quick as a lot of the Pros. Sam is a great endurance driver – smooth, consistent and reliable.

“The 12 Hour is a long and unpredictable race, and strategy will be critical, but there’s no reason we can’t challenge for a class victory.”

The event starts on Thursday (January 31), with the 12 Hour field on-track for Practice 1 on the following morning.
